Robert Jones Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 So our master bath shower has a heavy duty Mehman manufactured glass door. The water spots are unreal. Any suggestions on how to remove them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Some of the best stuff I've used is by a company called Zep. Now I used to use the "Industrial" stuff, but I think HD carries their consumer line. Don't know if there is a difference or not. www.zep.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Iron Out or Lime Away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 We use ZEP for cleaning and other remediation and have for several years. It is good stuff. Best stuff we have found is the dishwasher cleaner/ drinking glass cleaner in the supermarket. Several brands but it is basically the same as lime away. You have year around indoor plumbing?

hausdok Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 You have year around indoor plumbing? Nah, probably not. Most of us here in Washington don't have year-round indoor plumbing yet. Still have to get up mornings and empty the slop bucket into the privvy. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 That's funny. I will give the recommended stuff a try. Heading to the outhouse for my morning ritual;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 It's sort of a drift but...many years ago people would do their business outside in the outhouse and cook indoors. Now they cook (bar-b-que) outside and go indoors to do their business. [:-paperba Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Meiland Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Try Jet Dry. It's sold at Costco in the dish/laundry soap area. Bright blue color.... active ingredient is citric acid I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 We have some of that here for the dishwasher. I'll see what that does. These spots have been on this glass for quite some time. I think the door is original to the home(40's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Distilled white vinegar. It tastes better than any of the other suggestions[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Try Jet Dry. It's sold at Costco in the dish/laundry soap area. Bright blue color.... active ingredient is citric acid I believe. Thanks for the reminder. I just ran out of that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottpat Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 CLR works great on heavy deposits but if the glass is etched nothing will help. We use white vinegar at our home on our shower doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I tried CLR and had limited success. Gonna try the lime away next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I tried CLR and had limited success. Gonna try the lime away next. If that doesn't work, Estwing glass cleaner is the best I've used. I like the 20oz size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 If the glass is from the '40s it's not safety glass. I'd replace it. Is there a cutoff time for safety glass? I've got some stuff from the early fifities; it looks tempered, but I can't tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some stuff from the early fifities; it looks tempered, but I can't tell. Anything before '72 is suspect. If there's no etching, I'd look for other signs of tempering such as pincer marks or quench marks when viewed through a polarizer. If I was in doubt, I'd replace it. Soapy, naked people shouldn't be in close proximity to large shards of broken glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
